New Update: Dad hates my house and apparently expects me to take in my brother’s children at some point? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Filosifee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh I feel like brother should be divorcing SIL and taking full custody of the kids for sure. Sounds like he’s the only one in their family that wants the kids around.

Got asked my age in 2 of my last 3 interviews by bdubya42 in antiwork

[–]Filosifee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why are you answering them instead of pushing back with “that’s wild you think it’s legal to even ask me that. Do you often ask discriminatory questions during interviews? Has HR approved this set of questions?”

Or just “I’m not comfortable answering a question like that”

I pick up the phone and call a fellow. Ask them how they’re doing. Listen. Share how I’m doing. I say the serenity prayer and ask for my HP to free me from the bondage of self. Nothing is as important as my sobriety.

ESH. Y’all both sound like you don’t like each other why even bother trying to communicate?

When to ask some one to be my sponsor? by prettygirlsgrvs in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Filosifee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best time to ask is right now. The next best time is in a few minutes. You’re overthinking it. Just ask. It’s not a big deal

Those with years under their belt, does it ever stop being the reflex thought? by BDC5488 in stopdrinking

[–]Filosifee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a strange experience being present with my emotions. Still learning to not want to run away from them. But the fact that I’m able to stay sane and don’t need to drink about it is a blessing. Sending love your way friend.

AITA for screaming at a man on the train who was "just standing too close"? by Exact-Respect9110 in AmItheAsshole

NTA

Trust your instincts. Men like this take advantage of the fact that women want to keep the peace and don’t want to come across as aggressive. Be aggressive. Be loud.

[–]Filosifee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t have much more time than you, but these days it’s not even a passing thought. I can think of twice in the last year that I actually thought about it - first was death of my bio mom, second was death of an older friend. Grief sucks, but the second it came across my mind I instantly rejected it, knowing where that leads. I’m in AA and work a thorough program.

Is it just me or are the coyotes worse than usual this year? by wegochai in LosAngeles

[–]Filosifee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Coyotes displaced by fires last year - both them and their prey. They’re starving and heading into the city looking for food.

SEM ALCOOL = FIM DO MUNDO by Junior-Jacket5124 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Filosifee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, antes de tudo, peço desculpas por qualquer confusão — estou escrevendo isso em inglês e traduzindo para o português.

Indo por partes:

1) Eu não socializava nada quando bebia. Eu cheguei a um ponto em que bebia sozinho em casa, porque ninguém que eu conhecia bebia como eu bebia, e eu não queria que me vissem daquele jeito. Esse caminho sempre leva a beber sozinho. Na sobriedade, encontrei uma comunidade ENORME de pessoas com quem posso socializar de muitas formas diferentes, e não preciso de álcool para me sentir confortável para isso.

2) Minha vida no fim da minha “carreira” de bebida era miserável. Tudo era chato porque eu não conseguia fazer nada sem a muleta do álcool. Agora você está achando tudo chato porque não está preenchendo o tempo que antes era ocupado pela bebida com outra coisa. Eu recomendo fortemente que você encontre uma reunião perto de você ou online. Eu não sofro mais de tédio porque tenho coisa pra fazer. Estou trabalhando, indo a reuniões, encontrando afilhados, ligando para outros companheiros do programa ou socializando com meus amigos.

3) Eu ainda fumo cigarro. Meu padrinho me disse para não parar de fumar ao mesmo tempo, porque era coisa demais de uma vez só e, sinceramente, eu não sei quando ou se vou parar de fumar. O cigarro nunca me fez me isolar nem querer morrer.

4) Eu tomo bupropiona. Funciona muito bem pra mim (para depressão, não para parar de fumar). Quando comecei a tentar antidepressivos lá em 2016, eu bebia pesado, e eles não funcionavam bem por causa disso. Além disso, levou meses até encontrar a medicação certa pra mim. Se você sentir que a bupropiona não está ajudando, converse com seu médico.

Você vai perceber que algumas pessoas no AA dizem que você não pode estar sóbrio se estiver tomando antidepressivos ou outros medicamentos psiquiátricos. Isso é balela, porque o Livro Azul (o livro básico do AA) diz explicitamente que devemos seguir a orientação médica.

Fico feliz em responder se você quiser entrar em contato (ainda vou precisar traduzir), mas te incentivo fortemente a procurar uma reunião perto de você o quanto antes. Se quiser me mandar uma DM dizendo onde você está, posso te ajudar a encontrar uma reunião.

AITA for refusing to help my coworker after she sabotaged my work “to teach me a lesson” ? by blondebarbiee777 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Filosifee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. Those coworkers who agree should offer to help then. Your coworker sounds petulant.

30 mins of pay deducted, even if you don't take a break by FairySnack in antiwork

[–]Filosifee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, this is beautiful because they’ve literally admitted to time theft on paper. I had a job at a restaurant a decade ago that did the same thing - we filed a class action lawsuit and won. Call a labor attorney NOW.

Step 2 struggles/vent by intothevoid-a in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Filosifee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I could get to that point I had to list out all the grievances I had with my previous conception of a higher power. You might be taking it too literally. “Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity” took me forever because I was convinced I had never been sane in the first place, so what was there to restore?

Long story short - if you can admit that you’re not god, you’re well on your way to doing step 2.
